[![PyPI version](https://github.com/browser-use/browser-use-python/tree/main/<https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/browser-use-sdk.svg?label=pypi%20(stable)>)](https://pypi.org/project/browser-use-sdk/)

```sh
pip install browser-use-sdk
```

## Two-Step QuickStart

1. ☝️ Get your API Key at [Browser Use Cloud](https://cloud.browser-use.com)...

1. ✌️ Automate the web!

```python
from browser_use_sdk import BrowserUse

client = BrowserUse(api_key="bu_...")

result = client.tasks.run(
    task="Search for the top 10 Hacker News posts and return the title and url."
)

result.done_output
```

> The full API of this library can be found in [api.md](https://github.com/browser-use/browser-use-python/tree/main/api.md).

## Structured Output with Pydantic

Browser Use Python SDK provides first class support for Pydantic models.

```py
class HackerNewsPost(BaseModel):
    title: str
    url: str

class SearchResult(BaseModel):
    posts: List[HackerNewsPost]

async def main() -> None:
    result = await client.tasks.run(
        task="""
        Find top 10 Hacker News articles and return the title and url.
        """,
        structured_output_json=SearchResult,
    )

    if structured_result.parsed_output is not None:
        print("Top HackerNews Posts:")
        for post in structured_result.parsed_output.posts:
            print(f" - {post.title} - {post.url}")

asyncio.run(main())
```

## Streaming Updates with Async Iterators

> When presenting a long running task you might want to show updates as they happen.

Browser Use SDK exposes a `.stream` method that lets you subscribe to a sync or an async generator that automatically polls Browser Use Cloud servers and emits a new event when an update happens (e.g., live url becomes available, agent takes a new step, or agent completes the task).

```py
class HackerNewsPost(BaseModel):
    title: str
    url: str

class SearchResult(BaseModel):
    posts: List[HackerNewsPost]


async def main() -> None:
    task = await client.tasks.create(
        task="""
        Find top 10 Hacker News articles and return the title and url.
        """,
        structured_output_json=SearchResult,
    )

    async for update in client.tasks.stream(task.id, structured_output_json=SearchResult):
        if len(update.steps) > 0:
            last_step = update.steps[-1]
            print(f"{update.status}: {last_step.url} ({last_step.next_goal})")
        else:
            print(f"{update.status}")

        if update.status == "finished":
            if update.parsed_output is None:
                print("No output...")
            else:
                print("Top HackerNews Posts:")
                for post in update.parsed_output.posts:
                    print(f" - {post.title} - {post.url}")

                break

asyncio.run(main())
```

## Verifying Webhook Events

> You can configure Browser Use Cloud to emit Webhook events and process them easily with Browser Use Python SDK.

Browser Use SDK lets you easily verify the signature and structure of the payload you receive in the webhook.

```py
import uvicorn
import os
from browser_use_sdk.lib.webhooks import Webhook, verify_webhook_event_signature

from fastapi import FastAPI, Request, HTTPException

app = FastAPI()

SECRET_KEY = os.environ['SECRET_KEY']

@app.post('/webhook')
async def webhook(request: Request):
    body = await request.json()

    timestamp = request.headers.get('X-Browser-Use-Timestamp')
    signature = request.headers.get('X-Browser-Use-Signature')

    verified_webhook: Webhook = verify_webhook_event_signature(
        body=body,
        timestamp=timestamp,
        secret=SECRET_KEY,
        expected_signature=signature,
    )

    if verified_webhook is not None:
        print('Webhook received:', verified_webhook)
    else:
        print('Invalid webhook received')

    return {'status': 'success', 'message': 'Webhook received'}

if __name__ == '__main__':
    uvicorn.run(app, host='0.0.0.0', port=8080)
```

## Async usage

Simply import `AsyncBrowserUse` instead of `BrowserUse` and use `await` with each API call:

```python
import os
import asyncio
from browser_use_sdk import AsyncBrowserUse

client = AsyncBrowserUse(
    api_key=os.environ.get("BROWSER_USE_API_KEY"),  # This is the default and can be omitted
)


async def main() -> None:
    task = await client.tasks.run(
        task="Search for the top 10 Hacker News posts and return the title and url.",
    )
    print(task.done_output)


asyncio.run(main())
```

Functionality between the synchronous and asynchronous clients is otherwise identical.

### With aiohttp

By default, the async client uses `httpx` for HTTP requests. However, for improved concurrency performance you may also use `aiohttp` as the HTTP backend.

You can enable this by installing `aiohttp`:

```sh
# install from PyPI
pip install browser-use-sdk[aiohttp]
```

Then you can enable it by instantiating the client with `http_client=DefaultAioHttpClient()`:

```python
import asyncio
from browser_use_sdk import DefaultAioHttpClient
from browser_use_sdk import AsyncBrowserUse


async def main() -> None:
    async with AsyncBrowserUse(
        api_key="My API Key",
        http_client=DefaultAioHttpClient(),
    ) as client:
        task = await client.tasks.run(
            task="Search for the top 10 Hacker News posts and return the title and url.",
        )
        print(task.done_output)


asyncio.run(main())
```

## Advanced

## Handling errors

When the library is unable to connect to the API (for example, due to network connection problems or a timeout), a subclass of `browser_use_sdk.APIConnectionError` is raised.

When the API returns a non-success status code (that is, 4xx or 5xx
response), a subclass of `browser_use_sdk.APIStatusError` is raised, containing `status_code` and `response` properties.

All errors inherit from `browser_use_sdk.APIError`.

```python
import browser_use_sdk
from browser_use_sdk import BrowserUse

client = BrowserUse()

try:
    client.tasks.create(
        task="Search for the top 10 Hacker News posts and return the title and url.",
    )
except browser_use_sdk.APIConnectionError as e:
    print("The server could not be reached")
    print(e.__cause__)  # an underlying Exception, likely raised within httpx.
except browser_use_sdk.RateLimitError as e:
    print("A 429 status code was received; we should back off a bit.")
except browser_use_sdk.APIStatusError as e:
    print("Another non-200-range status code was received")
    print(e.status_code)
    print(e.response)
```

Error codes are as follows:

| Status Code | Error Type                 |
| ----------- | -------------------------- |
| 400         | `BadRequestError`          |
| 401         | `AuthenticationError`      |
| 403         | `PermissionDeniedError`    |
| 404         | `NotFoundError`            |
| 422         | `UnprocessableEntityError` |
| 429         | `RateLimitError`           |
| >=500       | `InternalServerError`      |
| N/A         | `APIConnectionError`       |

### Retries

Certain errors are automatically retried 2 times by default, with a short exponential backoff.
Connection errors (for example, due to a network connectivity problem), 408 Request Timeout, 409 Conflict,
429 Rate Limit, and >=500 Internal errors are all retried by default.

You can use the `max_retries` option to configure or disable retry settings:

```python
from browser_use_sdk import BrowserUse

# Configure the default for all requests:
client = BrowserUse(
    # default is 2
    max_retries=0,
)

# Or, configure per-request:
client.with_options(max_retries=5).tasks.create(
    task="Search for the top 10 Hacker News posts and return the title and url.",
)
```

### Timeouts

By default requests time out after 1 minute. You can configure this with a `timeout` option,
which accepts a float or an [`httpx.Timeout`](https://www.python-httpx.org/advanced/timeouts/#fine-tuning-the-configuration) object:

```python
from browser_use_sdk import BrowserUse

# Configure the default for all requests:
client = BrowserUse(
    # 20 seconds (default is 1 minute)
    timeout=20.0,
)

# More granular control:
client = BrowserUse(
    timeout=httpx.Timeout(60.0, read=5.0, write=10.0, connect=2.0),
)

# Override per-request:
client.with_options(timeout=5.0).tasks.create(
    task="Search for the top 10 Hacker News posts and return the title and url.",
)
```

On timeout, an `APITimeoutError` is thrown.

Note that requests that time out are [retried twice by default](https://github.com/browser-use/browser-use-python/tree/main/#retries).

### Logging

We use the standard library [`logging`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html) module.

You can enable logging by setting the environment variable `BROWSER_USE_LOG` to `info`.

```shell
$ export BROWSER_USE_LOG=info
```

Or to `debug` for more verbose logging.

### How to tell whether `None` means `null` or missing

In an API response, a field may be explicitly `null`, or missing entirely; in either case, its value is `None` in this library. You can differentiate the two cases with `.model_fields_set`:

```py
if response.my_field is None:
  if 'my_field' not in response.model_fields_set:
    print('Got json like {}, without a "my_field" key present at all.')
  else:
    print('Got json like {"my_field": null}.')
```

### Accessing raw response data (e.g. headers)

The "raw" Response object can be accessed by prefixing `.with_raw_response.` to any HTTP method call, e.g.,

```py
from browser_use_sdk import BrowserUse

client = BrowserUse()
response = client.tasks.with_raw_response.create(
    task="Search for the top 10 Hacker News posts and return the title and url.",
)
print(response.headers.get('X-My-Header'))

task = response.parse()  # get the object that `tasks.create()` would have returned
print(task.id)
```

These methods return an [`APIResponse`](https://github.com/browser-use/browser-use-python/tree/main/src/browser_use_sdk/_response.py) object.

The async client returns an [`AsyncAPIResponse`](https://github.com/browser-use/browser-use-python/tree/main/src/browser_use_sdk/_response.py) with the same structure, the only difference being `await`able methods for reading the response content.

### Configuring the HTTP client

You can directly override the [httpx client](https://www.python-httpx.org/api/#client) to customize it for your use case, including:

- Support for [proxies](https://www.python-httpx.org/advanced/proxies/)
- Custom [transports](https://www.python-httpx.org/advanced/transports/)
- Additional [advanced](https://www.python-httpx.org/advanced/clients/) functionality

```python
import httpx
from browser_use_sdk import BrowserUse, DefaultHttpxClient

client = BrowserUse(
    # Or use the `BROWSER_USE_BASE_URL` env var
    base_url="http://my.test.server.example.com:8083",
    http_client=DefaultHttpxClient(
        proxy="http://my.test.proxy.example.com",
        transport=httpx.HTTPTransport(local_address="0.0.0.0"),
    ),
)
```

You can also customize the client on a per-request basis by using `with_options()`:

```python
client.with_options(http_client=DefaultHttpxClient(...))
```

### Managing HTTP resources

By default the library closes underlying HTTP connections whenever the client is [garbage collected](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html#object.__del__). You can manually close the client using the `.close()` method if desired, or with a context manager that closes when exiting.

```py
from browser_use_sdk import BrowserUse

with BrowserUse() as client:
  # make requests here
  ...

# HTTP client is now closed
```
